Irreverence

READ: Acts 12:20-24

The people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him. —Acts 12:22-23

King Herod, dressed in his royal apparel, delivered an oration to an audience eager to win his favor. He reveled in their flattering response. “[This is] the voice of a god and not of a man!” shouted the crowd (Acts 12:22). Fear and awe of the one true God should have led him to protest, but he didn’t. For his failure to “give glory to God,” he was immediately struck by an angel of the Lord. He suffered an excruciating death because of his lack of reverence for God.

Paul and Barnabas, on the other hand, had such a great reverence for God that they nearly panicked at the thought of being worshiped (Acts 14:14-15). Upon seeing the apostle Paul miraculously heal a man who had been crippled from birth, the onlookers shouted, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” Then they prepared to offer sacrifices to Paul and Barnabas (vv.11-13). When the apostles heard this, they “tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out, . . . ‘Why are you doing these things?’” (vv.14-15).

In these contrasting biblical accounts, we see a solemn call to give God reverence in our irreverent world. He is the only one who is worthy of glory, praise, and honor. He is the only one who merits our worship.

To fear the Lord means giving Him
Our reverence, trust, and awe,
Acknowledging His sovereignty,
Submitting to His law. —Hess

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your name give glory. —Psalm 115:1

Bible in One Year:   Job 25-27; Acts 12

[Pegita]

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.Psalm 118:24

May it be, Merciful Father, that this day will bring an abundance of praise from our hearts ~ petitions of wisdom and guidance and protection for those in authority over us ~ gratitude for those who protect and defend ~ repentance for personal and corporate sin ~ and Blessed Assurance that if we humble ourselves and pray, and seek Your face, that You will hear and forgive and heal our land.

May it be thus, O Lord, may it be thus, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen ...

[LadyPilgrim]

What a beautiful prayer to our God!!!

Thank you...you said the very words I did not think to say! ;-)))

Thank you again!
God bless America, our President and his family and our Military and their families!

[Kitty Mittens]

To whom shall the glory be given? Oh! to Jesus-it is all by Jesus. Trouble does not necessarily bring consolation with it to the believer, but the presence of the Son of God in the fiery furnace with him fills his heart with joy.

Amen, and Glory be to His Great Name Forever!

Our Gracious Savior,

Thanksgiving and Praise, Worship and Honor, Glory and Adoration be to You, our God! You are our Life, our Salvation, and our Hope, and we Love to Reverence Your Name. Forevermore we will Sing to our God of Sovereign Grace!

We Intercede for our Brother-President, Seeking Your Best Blessings, through Grace. Cause his Character to be the Character of Christ, our King's Love Overflowing his Soul. Protect him Continually from his many Enemies, Sheltering him Safely in Your Hand.

Bless Your Israel, Great God, Granting them Salvation, with Peace and Grace. Guard our Brave Military, O Lord, and Send Revival to our Wayward, Wicked Land.

Be Magnified, Glorified, and Exalted in Your Grace, as we Pray in the Name of His Sovereign, Royal Majesty, amen.

Amen, alpha-8-25-02. God bless President Bush and God bless America.

I think Solomon might have made the same decision about Scooter Libby if he had been President.
